Installing software

[Guest]

Using the administrator account, when installing software can I limit the use
of this software to administrator only, rather than all users
(non-administrator accounts) defined on the PC?

Running XP Home edition

Thanks

yes, sometimes while installing you have an option of where, or where not to
install.
You can also remove it from the 'All Users' folder'
C:\program files>all users.

"You can also remove it from the 'All Users' folder'"

That's a Windows system folder.

sorry, I gave very wrong directions,
Don't know what I was thinking...
start>open all users>programs
